Liz Cohen is a performance artist and automotive designer. Cohen has an MFA in photography from California College of the Arts and Crafts and has taught at the California College of the Arts. She currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona. She is most notable for her Bodywork project to make an East German 1987 Trabant automobile transform into a 1973 Chevrolet El Camino using gears and hydraulics. Cohen also hired a personal trainer and dieted so she could appear in a bikini to be the model for the car at lowrider shows and for a series of photogaphs used to promote and document the project. These photographs have been seen at solo shows at Fargfabriken in Stockholm, Sweden and Galerie Laurent Godin in Paris, France as well as numerous publications, including the cover of German culture magazine Sleek (winter 2006/2007 issue) and the Nov. 2007 issue of The Believer. The car will be outfitted with motion sensors, cameras, and projectors to create an interactive exhibit. The project is financed primarily by grant money and includes the Trabant/El Camino as well as a music video and newspaper documenting the project.
